My Family's Parenting Theory - What I Think When I See My Daughter Riding a Porsche Since She Was One Year Old
Published on September 15, 2018
Conversation every morning between husband and eldest daughter
In our family, my husband is supposed to take our oldest daughter, 4 years old, to kindergarten in the morning every day. And every day before he leaves, my husband gives my eldest daughterWhich car are you taking today?"I ask. Then my daughter, who was
Blue Porci(Porsche)!" And "Wight.(WHITE)Porci!" and "Golf!
so I drive to school and go to the school in a car that matches my daughter's request. Sometimes my husband says, "Shall we go to Wight's Porci today?"But if my daughter says, "Oh no, I want XXX," we end up going out in the car she wants.
Well, my child...it's an outrageous story.
In July, he also took his one-and-a-half-year-old second daughter on a family trip to the U.S. with the four of them, which was the first time for the girls to stay abroad and they were very happy with the trip, but(He was annoyed when I repeatedly told him that he was really lucky to be able to come overseas at the age of four, and that it was not a matter of course.)
When I look at the environment surrounding my daughter, I am reminded that it is very different from the circumstances in which I was born and raised. Thanks to my parents, I had a good childhood and was able to go to a private university, and I am very grateful to them.Basically, there was one car in the family, we seldom ate out, and I went abroad with the money I saved from my own part-time job after I entered college.(Well, times are different now.)
Even when I was a student.Foreign cars are for people who live in a different world than I do.So the day I heard that my friend's father drives a Mercedes Benz, I thought, "What! He was a young lady himself! I was so shocked.
But in my case, I am glad to have grown up in this environment with these parents, and that is why I am the person I am today, so the environment my daughters are in today is something of a luxury...I sometimes worry a little about their future.
The future of our daughters.
My husband and I talk about our daughters' education policy at a moment's notice, and both of us are very interested in theirI want you to have a career in the future.We want the girls to find what they want to do on their own, and to walk firmly on their own feet in their own lives.
thereforeI have no intention of having them take entrance exams or learn a lot of things.(My daughter spontaneously wants to take the exam! (If my daughter voluntarily says, "I want to take an entrance examination or learn something! (I might think about it if she starts saying "I want to take an entrance exam or learn a lesson!)
More than that.I want my daughters to have many experiences now that will expand their options and possibilities for the future.I have a strong feeling that this is the case.
But on the other hand, I don't want her to be like a "naive young lady".
They may value everything only in terms of money, they may be ungrateful because they take for granted what they are asked to do, they may think they are special and be selfish towards others...etc. Instead, they should look at the world widely, experience various things, and then they will be able to make the most of their time in the world.Sour and sweet, front and back.(It's a little scary back there.)Taste, understand the value of the things in front of you based on your own experience and wisdom, make judgments, and make choices.I hope you will like it.
So I often tell my husbandDon't buy your kids a car just because they got a driver's license.(If there's a car you want, you can get a part-time job yourself, or present it to your parents if you don't have the money.)Or something."Don't put the kid in business class on a plane out of the blue.(Economy is good enough for starters.)and so on.
I'm still not able to breastfeed my second daughter, who is 18 months old, while saying to my husband, "I'm so proud of you..." (-_-)
I already feel...
So the other day, I was walking around the neighborhood with my oldest daughter. A Mercedes-Benz E Coupe drove up from in front of us.Ah, here comes the E-Coupe!"As I was walking along, my eldest daughter said in a loud voice as if we were passing each other, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Holy crap, now that's a tiny car!
...
...No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no... !!!!
I was so full of rush, I didn't know what to say.No, no, no, these cars aren't small at all! In fact, they're bigger! And it's a very nice car! I mean, you shouldn't say that so loudly to people passing by!My daughter looked at me in wonder the whole time.
Well, thinking about it, my daughter just said "the car is too small" and I feel like I overreacted....
From the perspective of my eldest daughter, who usually drives a Panamera, the E-Class probably feels small. However, I was frightened to realize that my eldest daughter's senses may have already begun to deviate from the rest of the world."I'm on the road to being a naive young lady."I am reminded once again today that I must be careful not to become a "I'm not a good person, I'm not a good person....
